1) Are you married/living with SO?
2) Do you have children living at home?
3) Do you work full-time?
4) Do you drive 20 minutes or more (each way) to the pool?
It seems like everyone I know who makes it to the pool 3 or more times a week either doesn't have kids or doesn't work full-time. I'm not sure I've found anyone who fits into all of the above categories. If you do, how the heck do you do it? :bow:
Sample of respondents is an Internet sample, and -- speaking not directly of swimming now -- there also seems to be an age skew in who participates on bbs overall. But I wouldn't be surprised if more men than women swam masters (and more women than men swam with their children while same were growing up). I recall exactly one man swimming when I was a child, and he had a summer house on a lake. All the moms took kids to the pond, beach, neighbor's pool, wherever. It was lowercase swimming.
"Gals," pls. I haven't been a "girl" in generations.:cheerleader:
Snowing now. Quite lovely. Think I'll go swimming!

Ok, I was curious how gender might factor into this survey and so far it's 17 guys vs 7 girls.
Is this just because more men swim in general and masters in particular?
